Got the Kayak quickly and inflated it in the house to get my bearings. Easy set up.
We went to the river today and I forgot my power pump, but was pleasantly surprised to find the foot pump easy to use and just as fast as the corded pump.
This is a heavy duty inflatable and there were no worries on the gravel and sand. Two adults (5'4" and 5'11) and 12 year old all fit comfortably. Easy to maneuver. I would definitely recommend this kayak- especially for lakes and easy flowing rivers.
The SE370 is worth it just for the heavy duty seats!
A few things to consider-
It is heavy when rolled up and in the bag with paddle, seats and foot pump. You won't want to carry it far.
If paddle clips are important to you- this one doesn't have any.
No foot pegs, but it was easy to brace my feet against the chambers.

Perfect for small car people...

Rating:

We have this kayak under our bed in our travel trailer and it is perfect for occasional use. Two people fit and it is easy enough to inflate and deflate. It is nothing like a real kayak and should only be used in calm water. Having said that, it sure is a lot of fun.

So much fun for the kids!

Rating:

My 6 and 7 year old got on and within minutes were paddling around like pros! Met another woman at the beach that said her kids had had theirs for 7 years and they were still going strong. Weight limit is 130 lbs, so I can even paddle around on them!

Great Family Fun - Good Boats

Rating:

We purchased two of the Pro Kayak sets and have found them to be wonderful additions to our outdoor fun. They are big enough for two adults, but are definitely more comfortable with one adult and one child. The oars are not the best, but aside from that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the functionality. Since I have never used a hard sided kayak I don't have a comparison but I am happy with the tracking of this boat. We did encounter some wind and while it took effort to stay my course, it was not any more than I have found in a small aluminum fishing boat with a motor - you have to correct for the wind. They blow up easily, and are quite stable in the water - my youngest enjoys jumping out of the boat (with a life vest of course) and I eventually have to drag him back into the boat. Even hauling a 50 pound kid soaking wet over the side we don't tip. Great investment.

Need to get use to

Rating:

I bought SE370 Kayak for my 75 year old parents. My father loves this kayak since it's compact and easy to carry. He has to pump the kayak longer than the younger users, but he feels his getting a workout out of its use. Only problem he has is that when ever he trys to get on board on this kayak, it flaps over on him. Currently, they are using this kayak at a shallow water since his not use to getting on the boat. But, so far so good.

Great Value, Works as advertised

Rating:

I must admit that I have wanted a Sea Eagle inflatable since I was a kid (30 yrs ago). The boats arrived about 5 days after I placed the order in good condition. Do not use a knife to open the shipping boxes or you run the risk of cutting the boat. I ordered (1) Pro Package and (1) Deluxe Package because my teenage son is using one boat and we just use one Pro seat in each boat for solo trips. The deluxe seats are horrible for back support in the middle of the boat, but work well at the rear because the spray skirt helps with back support. The hardest part of assembly is getting the valve cap keepers on the valve openings. They require some stretching to get them on and some of them won't stay on well. This doesn't affect the seal of the valve caps but it does keep them from getting lost or misplaced. Pumping the three main chambers requires about 100 pumps for each with the included foot pump and two to three for each spray skirt. The seats require about three pumps for the two seperate chambers.I see an electric air pump in my future! I pumped both boats up and pressure tested them for two days and all of the valves held pressure. I did read on another website that it is a good idea to go back and give each valve another twist to prevent any slow leaks while operating the boat. The 370 models have thicker material than the 330's (38mil vs 33mil, so in theory they should be more puncture resistant. The paddles are of a four piece collapsible design. They look to be of reasonable quality and since I will be paddling solo most of the time I have a spare paddle in case something does break (each boat comes with two paddles). The boat also ships with an inflation gauge to ensure proper air pressure and a patch kit.
The maiden voyage of these boats was made on a local lake in a protected cove with winds about 5 MPH. As with any canoe or kayak, getting into it for the first time causes a little anxiety. The initial stability of these boats is not as good as some rented kayaks I have used but the secondary stability is very good. I was expecting bad yaw characteristics which is usually a trademark of inflatable boats but I was pleasantly suprised. The key is to start out with slow and light paddle strokes until up to speed and then the boat can be paddled with more power. When paddling solo the boat performs best if the paddler is seated around the middle. The pro seats are comfortable but they do slide around a little toward the back when entering the boat and getting seated. I will probably get some small caribiners and run some rope to the seats from the spray skirts to keep them from moving back. The wind did affect the boat some and corrective paddle strokes were needed to stay on the intended heading, but that is the case with most other inflatables. I was concerned about the sun heating up the boat and over pressurizing the chambers but the material is a light gray color and the boat stayed relatively cool on this 95 degree day.
This is what I would call a fun boat. It doesn't have foot rests or thigh braces which help transfer power to your paddle, so you aren't going to win any races in it. It will require more energy to move it around. For what it is, it gets the job done. The boats are rated for Class 3 whitewater but I can't see using them for anything but lakes and slow moving and relatively deep rivers. You may be able to use them for deep Class 1 through 3 rivers but most of the whitewater rivers in North Carolina are two feet or less in depth and have a lot of craggy rocks. Dedicated inflatable whitewater boats have a thick rubber coating or heavy fabric outerlayer to prevent cuts and abrasions. The Sea Eagle Sport kayaks are just very thick PVC material which is durable but not enough for my comfort in these conditions. Who wants to have a flat 10 miles upstream in the middle of nowhere? If you are that adventurous, make sure you have your patch kit and foot pump with you.
I wasn't in the financial position to get two hard shell kayaks, paddles, and a roof top carrier. I would have spent $1000.00 minimum to get entry level boats. In my case it was buy the Sea Eagles with paddles and air pumps for less than $500.00 or sit on the shore and watch others have fun.
Being able to pack away a 12 foot long boat with all of the accessories in a duffle bag is very convenient but it is not without some disadvantages. You have to make sure the boat is completely dry before you put it away to prevent mold and mildew. This means either leaving the boat inflated until dry or wiping it down with a towel at the end of the day. The spray skirts are attached with ropes so the boat is going to have to air dry for some amount of time before packing it away to allow the ropes to dry out. Drying the boat is a minor annoyance but just be aware that you aren't going to be able to just pull it out of the water, deflate it, and stuff it in a bag. I had to practice a couple of times folding up the boat so it fits in the bag. I found the best way is to roll it up like a sleeping bag instead of folding it in sections. With the boat and accessories in the bag the whole package is very heavy. The bag only has one shoulder strap so all of the weight is on one side of your body during transport. Two straps would make it a lot easier. I can't see anyone carrying these bags more than 50 yards before taking a break or switching shoulders. It is much easier to carry the inflated boat and paddle if possible.
Overall Sea Eagle makes a good product that peforms well if you recognize its limitations. These boats are are leap up from inflatable pool toys and should hold up well under normal circumstances. The material is probably three times thicker than the cheap boats. I can't think of a better or less expensive way to get out on the water and just have a little fun.

Great, versatile little boat

Rating:

This boat is perfect if you don't have a truck or another way to transport a hard kayak. It fits in the trunk of my car and sets up in minutes. When fully inflated, it moves fast on the water. The price is a little steep, but the quality makes it worth it.

We bought a second. We bring the shepherd...

Rating:

We bought one to have our friends along with us in our big, molded plastic, heavy kayaks. I now prefer the Sea Eagle 370 as it is light and comfortable. We bought a second Sea Eagle 370 so that we could have another family of 4 join us on kayak trips or pull our gear on kayak/camping trips. We put our 60 lbs shepherd mix in the inflatable and it is so durable that his claws are not an issue. I recommend the Sea Eagle kayak for it's storablility (folds up neatly and fits in the back of the car), light weight, durabilty, and maneuverability. I don't know that I would take it out in high winds or on a rough ocean, but it's been great for lakes, rivers and creeks.

SE330 Pro Kayak

Rating:

Love my SE330 Pro Kayak but in no way is it made for two people and gear. Excellent for one person and some gear and lots of fun and easy to set up and take down and store away.
